I was wondering if anyone had updated information on RC Averaging. I've read in many places that it increases quality and makes file size actually more predictable because it distributes the bitrate better over the scenes.

The interesting thing is I read under the sticky post about undersize that it helps him to more closely get filesize, but you could still be right if he's only talking about undersized files.

Hoping someone can clarify what this does.

Also I've heard that setting it to half will make the codec much more (not less) responsive to changes in high motion and low motion scenes, unlike what Doom9 said, but I have no experience.
